Dating back to Roman times, The Saalburg is a historic fort that has been named part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's conveniently located just outside the town of Bad Homburg, and it has been transformed into an indoor/outdoor museum that the whole family can enjoy. The indoor exhibits display ancient weapons, jewelry, and other artifacts, and visitors are welcome to explore the grounds at their leisure. During the high season, guides in period costumes can be found throughout the site, and they're always happy to answer questions or demonstrate how to use a bow and arrow.
